Mindhorn – VIP Cinema Package

From the creators of the Mighty Boosh, see Mindhorn in VIP style at the Electric Cinema with BLOC Hotel – only £68 per couple!

Washed-up Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt) peaked with hit 1980s detective show Mindhorn, playing the titular Isle of Man sleuth with a robotic eye that allowed him to literally ‘see the truth’.

Decades later, when a deranged Manx criminal demands Mindhorn as his nemesis, Thorncroft returns to the scene of his greatest triumphs for one last chance to reignite his glory days, professional credibility and even romance with former co-star/paramour Patricia Deville (Essie Davis).

“A rib-tickling homage to the gumshoe shows of yesteryear”Total Film

“…the gags-per-minute ratio is through the roof.”Timeout 4/5

“There are such great gags, and it is acted with such fanatical gusto by Barratt that it’s impossible not to root for this unlikeliest of heroes.”Guardian 4/5

BLOC Hotel Birmingham

The BLOC philosophy is new to the UK. The concept is called pared-down chic and is based on ideas we’ve adapted from the best designers around the world. By injecting a little British creativity, we have been pushing the boundaries of hotel design. From the build right down to the finishes in each room, we work with cutting-edge materials and innovative thinkers whose mantra really is, small is beautiful.

The idea is to build very cleverly using the very best materials whilst still making it as cost-effective as possible. And that means we can offer our guests really chic rooms in prime city centre locations at very, very good prices.

So much more for less.

BLOC Birmingham

Our rooms are efficient, sleek and beautifully designed, every small detail matters.

From our sophisticated climate control system (we worked with a Scandinavian Sleep Institute to ensure your room is at the optimum temperature and humidity for a peaceful night) to our Italian-tiled wet rooms with their powerful drench showers, super-fast Wi-Fi, HD LED TVs and Artemide ambient lighting. Our king-sized beds are becoming legends because they're decadently comfortable with pocket-sprung mattresses and luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets.

This all adds up to something never experience before at this price in the UK.
